I mean this is an extreme case. The booing warms my heart but everyone I know who is in teaching is either 100% on the Kool Aid IV drip or absolutely crashing out over what they feel is the end of organized society.
An old friend of mine was a younger, well liked middle school teacher who was very motivated to get the kids interested in actually wanting to seek out more stuff and to nurture that, since our curricula here are ancient. She quit this year. Outright. Mid fucking year. She says that in French the chatbots are even more repetitive and every student from the most inattentive to the “best” seems incapable to hand in any essay without at least running it through the slop machine for good measure.
The infinitesimally thin silver lining is that I’m not just hearing of AI fatigue online.
But the kids call it lies, they say “that’s AI” to mean that’s a hoax, they call their memes brainrot, so the self awareness is there. Then they completely fall apart on writing and researching. I was a dreadfully unfocused categorically shit student with a bad work ethic at school and even I’m offended
